The Goulds and Society.
From the Indianapolis Journal.


The Goulds have not yet made move for
entrance into society, nor given the faintest
indications of intending to- At the Patti
operas, which have crowded the Metropoli-
tan Opera House this week, the concededly
prettiest girl in the boxes has been the bride
of Young George Gould That doesn't inn
ply as much as ii at first seems to. The two
extensive tiers of proprietary boxes con-
tain, of course the wives and daughters of
swelldom, not by selection, but by the
chances of birth and fortune. These women
represent the average of all New York as to
comelinesS, and glass can be swept along
for dozen boxes before focusing tolera-
bly, pretty face. But drop your gaze to the
big erea of orchestra chairs, where a goodly
proportion Of the girls have been invited on
their looks, and see how immensely higher
is the attractiveness Men do like to take
out lovely maidens, and SO it is that while
beauty is plenty at the Metropolitan, the
boxes do not contain anything like their pro-
portionate share of it. But Mrs. George
Gould is beautiful anyhow: and, posed at
the front of the Gould box, she has been the
belle of the Patti week undeniably If she
is ambitious to enter the society which adj
joins her in the boxes she has to curb her de-
sires, for Jay Gould has not yet undertaken
to introduce himself to the Vanderbilts and
the others of exaltation. AS several clubs
have declined to welcome him, and the Stock
Exchange will not permit him membership,
it is a puzzling question how strenuously
society would resist him. A common idea is
that one winter of gorgeous entertainments
would prove irresistible.

A Horses Ear for Music.


From the MASSACHUSETTS PloUnldR.
The following story is told by Fred Grant
In his last year at West Point he held the
position of Captain Of Artillery One day
the visiting officer, who happened to be his
father, Gen. Grant, held an inspection and
drill. After the cadets had assembled on
the parade ground, it was decided to give
the commands by bugle call. The officers
would then deliver them by word of mouth
to the men. Fred Grant had a VIGOROUSLY
bad ear for music. He had never been able
to master a single tune, and worse still, had
no idea of time. When the announcement
of the mode of giving the orders was made,
he rushed up to a comrade and said: "Great
goodness! What shall do! l can't tell the
difference between the charge and tho re
tfeat'n
His friend advised him to change his
horse for Mazeppa, horse Of one Of the SER
geants. She would carry him through. He
hastily did so, and watched every movement
Of his animal during the ensuing cvolutions.
When the bugle sounded forward the
knowing animal advanced and the command
was accordingly given to the men. When
the call of halt came Mazeppa stood like a
rock. and the proper order was issued by the
officer. In this way the horse, by its ear for
music, told its rider the orders of the day
and carried him safely through the compli-
Gated movements of the drill

He Thought That He was in the Land
of the Free.
From the Nortgich Bulletin.


a fresh appearing German called at q
Norwich barber's shop on Monday and had
his hair cut, his face shaved, and his nous
tache dyed. FJe was very particular to be
fixed up in genuine American style. After
the tonsorial artist had got through with
him he inquired for drug store, and was
reminded that the work came to 35c. He
then said
~ have no money. Charge it to the
Castle Garden"
The fellow looked honest and without
guile, and all that could be made out Of his
action was that he had misconstrued the
word free as applied to America, and con-
cluded that in this country a man got any
thing lac called for for nothing. Every one
present laughed and the young German was
allowed 10 20 free.

them, respectively, which was followed by
one of them asking the other if ho had o6-
tanned his pass yet, and the following dia-
logue then ensued:

VAN rrLBERGFs coLoREp BRIDE.
He Married Her Out and Out, He Says,
and He is not Ashamed of it.


From the NeIo York Sun.
New BRUNSWICK, April lS.-Young
farmer William Van Tilbergh, of Rocky
Hill, had been paying assiduous attention
for more than year to Lizzie Sim
mons, a pretty and intelligent light mulatto
of 10, who lived on her fathers little farm
near the Van Tilbergh place A month ago
her father sent Van Tilbergh notice to
keep off his promises under penalty
of criminal suit for trespass He did
not want his daughter 20 marry n white
man. The notice served its purpose for a
few days, and Van Tilhorgh met the girl III
a lane in his fathers orchard without the
knowledge of his parents. 4 week ago u
warrant was issued for the young mans
arrest, because he had been seen again near
the Simmons house. He, however, eluded
the constables, and it was supposed that the
union had been broken Off, as nothing was
seen OF him since last Friday.
Last night some time Van T1lbergh drove
up to the old colored mans house, and he
was soon joined by the girl Her rapid
movements through the house awoke her
father, and, divining her purpose, he ran
out into the road after her. He was just
too late, as Van Tilbergh had hurried the
girl into the buggy and whipped up the
horse before the old man reached the gate.
Van Tilbergh took a short drive in the
moonlight, and then quietly drove up to his
fathers house. The girl was made COM
Portable on the parlor sofa, while Van Til
bergh went to his room. Nobody else in
the house knew of her presence. At day
break this morning the two stole out of the
house and jumped into the buggy, from
which the horse had not been unhitched.
They started for Princeton, where a colored
preacher named Charles Robinson married
them. After the ceremony the couple re-
turned to the Van Tilbergh house, where
their presence caused a commotion. Old
Mr.. Simmons had been all over the neigh
bOrhood, and had alarmed the people, who
almost in body had gone over to the Van
Tilbergh house. When the newly married
couple drove down the road a number of
the farmers threatened to tar and feather
the young man. He, however, declared with
dignitvt that he had not dishonored the girl,
but married her out and out. Old Mr. Sim
mons would not be reconciled until the
preacher had sent word that the marriage
took place and was legal
The Van Tilbergh family are among the
Oldest in the State, the property now owned
by them having been III the family more
than 200 years. The parents of the young
man are in quandary. An effort will be
made to break the marriage. In the mean
time the bride is allowed to remain in the
Van Tilbergh house
